Phylogenetic maximum-likelihood analysis of 6 Cryptococcus deuterogattii isolates from 2 kidney transplant recipients in Brazil (blue), the organ donor (red), and cases from the literature (Appendix, https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/EID/article/26/6/19-1765-App1.pdf), along with reference isolates. Isolates from the 2 transplant recipients came from blood and urine; the genetic material from the donor came from a formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded brain tissue block. The GenBank accession numbers are KU64269
